ALARM PROGRAMMING
Alarmed cameras can be displayed on one or several monitors as part of one or several alarm groups (each monitor can display only one
alarm group.)
Before programming alarm settings note the following precautions:
•Verify that no automated system functions are set to run, such as a macro that would arm or disarm an alarm.
Ensure that system operators do not arm or disarm any alarms while you are programming alarm settings.
NOTE: You cannot access the Alarm Contacts screen when an alarm is active. If an alarm is triggered while you are in the CM6800
programming screens, the system will exit the on-screen programming function and display the alarm on the appropriate monitor(s).
Complete the following steps to program alarms:
1. Program the alarm display format for each alarm group. An alarm can include up to eight steps, so eight camera views could display
as a part of each alarm. Refer to
Program Alarm Groups
.
2. Program the individual alarm contact. Refer to
Program an Internal or External Alarm Contact
.
PROGRAM ALARM GROUPS
Use the Alarm Group screen to configure alarm groups to appear on system monitors. To display on a monitor, an alarm must be assigned
to an alarm group.
Figure 30. Program Alarm Groups
Specify the display option for up to six alarm groups. Refer to the on-screen Help or to the Alarm Group Display Options in the
